the days before i bought the galaxy

"Why, aren't you convinced?" Linda sneered, "Unless you can prove that you are more valuable than ordinary half-humans, otherwise, I will not treat you as an equal."

Odin raised his eyebrows: "Interesting, how do you want me to prove this?"

"Beating me is the best proof." Linda stroked her hair.

"Way?"

"Music. If you can beat me musically, I'll recognize your worth."

Warren frowned.Linda's request is simply overwhelming.

"I accept."

Odin's answer surprised Warren.

"For musical instruments..." Odin looked around, "just choose the piano." He walked towards a white grand piano in the corner of the room.

Warren had never known that Odin could play the piano.He watched as the half-man stretched out a hand and tapped the keys twice.This action made him sweat a lot about this competition.Undoubtedly, Odin was not familiar with the piano at all, and apart from his imposing manner, there was nothing professional about him either in his sitting posture or in the way he auditioned the sound.Can such an Odin really surpass Linda in music?

"Shall we start?" Linda asked, crossing her arms.

"Wait a minute, I need a little time." Odin pressed all the keys unhurriedly.He always pauses for a moment every time he presses it, as if he is memorizing the position of each sound.

"Not yet?"

Warren could see that Linda was nervous only because of her aegean.

"Wait a minute..." After pressing it twice, Odin finally put his second hand on the keys, but what he played with both hands still didn't have any sense of melody.

Linda's complexion had become rather ugly, but she did not continue to urge Odin.Probably because I think Odin is doomed!

She even smiled and asked Odin if he needed the sheet music when he finally stopped and started looking at the keys.

"No, you can start now."

Odin put his hands on the keys again.He paused for a few seconds, then began to play.Warren suddenly felt terribly unreal.Is the man sitting there playing the piano really Odin?How could he have learned to play the piano in a split second?Is this... the very beginning of "Song of the Storm"?

Even as a layman, Warren can hear that Odin's melody is no worse than Linda's, and after using the piano instead of the violin, the appeal of this piece of music is even higher.

Even more incredible than Warren was Linda.She has practiced the violin for nearly 20 years, and her understanding of music and familiarity with techniques are unmatched by Warren.She clearly knew that the skills Odin displayed at this moment were definitely beyond the grasp of a beginner.

Could it be that he was acting before?

hateful!

She even heard that Odin had arranged the music to make it more suitable for playing on the piano.Even if I really don't want to admit it, Odin's crazy and flamboyant character is indeed more suitable for this song than her.

Odin only played a short section before stopping.Warren applauded in good time, cheering on his adjutant.

Linda walked over to Odin. "Hold up your hand and let me see." If it wasn't for the fact that the piano belonged to her, she even suspected that Odin had done something on the piano.She took out a small instrument from her pocket and carefully examined Odin's palm.

"This is impossible……"

"Do you need to do further testing?" Odin said with a smile.

"..."

"Do you think I am qualified to speak to you now?" Odin stood up victoriously and walked over to Warren.

"You have passed. But... Although your technique is quite powerful, I always feel that the person who was playing just now is not suitable for you. You are not playing the music with your soul."

Or is it another soul that inhabits this man's body that is playing this "Storm Song"?

Linda was puzzled by this unbelievable idea.

"Are you going to talk here or somewhere else?" Odin casually took Warren's arm.

Warren felt Odin's arm tremble slightly. No matter what method Odin used to win, he must have exhausted a lot of physical strength just now.Warren immediately put his arms around Odin's waist, passing his strength over without a trace.

"Please follow me to the tea room!" Linda smiled calmly.It seems that she has completely recovered from the unwillingness just now.

In addition to the door that Warren and Odin entered just now, there are five identical metal doors in the piano room.Linda led them into one of them.Behind the door was a long passage, and they walked through a small circular hall, and then followed another passage to the tea room.It seems that this underground city is completely composed of passages and large and small nodes. This structure makes it very difficult to completely invade here.This is undoubtedly crucial for smuggling groups, because they can still have time to divert the goods in case of danger.

"So, what's the matter with you coming to see me?" Linda sat down on the sofa in the center.She knocked on the table, and the drink list was immediately displayed on the screen on the table, "Just order whatever you want."

Warren chose for himself a drink he had never heard of. "Before I tell you why I came out to find you, can you explain why you went to Hong before?"

"It's very simple. According to the information, the Slim Chamber of Commerce is already a medium-sized chamber of commerce. We will find a way to contact all the medium-sized chambers of commerce in our sphere of influence to see if there is any possibility of joining us. Of course, ordinary medium-sized chambers of commerce do not I don't need to investigate it myself. Warren, your reputation is quite loud in this area!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Warren felt that Linda's status in the smuggling group should not be low. "Then what is the result of your investigation?"

"It's hard to say." Linda smiled, "You have great potential for development, but at the same time it's a little hard to understand. If I were you, I would never choose to declare war on Silver Shield at this time. The strength gap between them is really too big. Under the suppression of Silver Shield, maybe you will soon become a past tense, so it is completely meaningless to absorb you. But I am a little surprised that you can find this place ! How do you know this planet is our stronghold?"

"Just some simple judgments, don't forget that I have been here before."

"Was it that time with the Clarke Germans? It was really thanks to you. Although we can also mobilize the armed forces within the organization to eliminate them, the sudden appearance of an army will definitely arouse suspicion. Because there are many important goods that cannot be shipped out, I At that time, I was more than 200 light-years away from here, and I was rushing back!"

"It's nothing, we just have the same goal." Warren said with a smile, "You also know that the Slim Chamber of Commerce and Silver Shield are currently at the stage of fighting. I hope to use the power of your organization to obtain new trading channels."

"Are you going to ship 'black goods'? How much will 'black goods' account for in your total transaction value?"

"In addition to close transactions, I can mobilize [-]% of the spaceships for smuggling."

Linda couldn't help gasping: "This is a big deal, if you are caught, you will go to jail and die."

"So I hope to find a reliable middleman." Warren said lightly.

"In this regard, you can rest assured that reputation has always been the first priority for us. I dare say that we pay more attention to reputation than the old big chamber of commerce. We deliberately use inferior products to give you wrong information, or let them go. If you are captured by the Federation, none of these situations will happen, and you can even sign a special insurance agreement with us. Our trading network covers one-sixth of the entire sphere of influence of the people on Earth, and is currently the second largest center in the entire universe. Merchants, we also have our stronghold in the prokaryotic area. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about the number and types of trading items at all. The problem is only how brave you are and how careful you are.”

"I must have absolute choice when it comes to goods."

"No problem, when you join in, you will find that our interior is very free. Since the tariffs of the federal and commercial circles have been deducted, your buying and selling prices will be lower than before. Generally speaking, the two superimpose, It will increase your profit by 30%. If you are willing to carry out some high-risk transactions, it is not impossible to develop into a large chamber of commerce in the future.”

Warren: "Any requests?"

"The requirements are very simple. First, all our transactions must be kept confidential. If you can't do it, the organization also has special personnel to 'help' you keep the secret. Second, the total amount of goods you sell must not be less than what you bought from us The total amount of goods purchased. That is to say, you can choose what you want from our trading network at will, but you must also sell us the goods of equivalent value on hand. Of course, at the beginning, you can get a An overdraft limit. We make quarterly settlements. Third, if you are unfortunately caught by the federation, we will not be responsible for your actions. But if you buy special insurance, we can take care of the person you designate. Fourth , and most importantly, we will take a 1% commission for each transaction. How about it, does it sound good?" Linda looked at Warren with interest.

Warren nodded: "Fair."

"I suggest that you try to buy a spaceship with high concealment for transportation. There are two places for trading. If you choose to trade with the other party on a stronghold like the old tavern star, you have to pay a lot of venue fees. If you can ship the goods directly to the destination, you can get the full profit. The former is relatively safe, but the profit is lower, and the latter depends on your dealings with the local government. You can according to your own Circumstances to choose."

"Okay, I'll think about it. Need to sign a cooperation agreement?"

"We only need to reach a verbal agreement. How about it, do you answer me now, or do you want to think again?"

"I can answer you now. I will join, and Odin will be responsible for all black goods transactions in the future."

"Then congratulations, you are already a member of the organization." Linda smiled, turned to Odin and said, "Grand pianist, I think I will mainly deal with you in the future. I will try my best to satisfy you." For your needs, if I am not here, I will introduce other reliable people to you in advance. Under no circumstances should you contact anyone who claims to be an organization, because it is very dangerous. Well, do you want to bring some What souvenir to go back? I can give you my piano."

"No, I don't need a piano." Odin narrowed his eyes, "But if a beautiful woman like you is willing to give me a kiss, I will be honored."

Linda couldn't help laughing, and generously kissed Odin's lips.

"Happy cooperation!" She raised her glass.

"Happy cooperation!"
